the descendants of Pahath-moab
The name "Pahath-moab" translates to "governor of Moab," indicating a leadership role or a significant family within the tribe. Historically, Moab was a region east of the Dead Sea, often in conflict with Israel. The mention of "descendants" suggests a lineage that has maintained its identity and heritage through the Babylonian exile, emphasizing the importance of family and tribal connections in Jewish society. This lineage reflects the continuity of God's people despite adversity.

(through the line of Jeshua and Joab)
Jeshua, also known as Joshua, is a name meaning "The Lord is salvation." This name is significant in Jewish history, as it is associated with leaders who guided the Israelites. Joab, meaning "Yahweh is father," was a prominent military leader under King David. The inclusion of these names highlights the noble and possibly priestly or warrior lineage of Pahath-moab's descendants, suggesting a heritage of leadership and service to God and the community.

2,818
This specific number underscores the precision and care with which the genealogical records were kept. It reflects the importance of each individual in the community and the collective strength of the people. In a broader sense, it signifies the fulfillment of God's promise to preserve a remnant of His people, ensuring their return to Jerusalem to rebuild and restore their nation. This number is a testament to God's faithfulness and the resilience of His people.
